On HEAVEN and HELL

As I was having lunch with a friend, she mentioned a question that was on her mind. The question was about heaven and hell. The answer she got earlier was that when one dies one can go into seven planes of consciousness according to their Karma and then one is reborn accordingly. She asked this question to a person he had taken her guru and was now disillusioned by her   guru’s activities. That was creating a mini hell for him.

            I have seen that one need not die to see heaven and hell. One can create a living hell in one’s life. More than the external situations, the interpretation and internalization of situations can create a heaven where one is in tune with cosmic order, fairness and grace.

             I love the quote about a religious and spiritual person. ‘‘A religious person is one who believes in and is afraid of going to hell and a spiritual person is one who has been to hell back’’.

             When one gets pulled into or falls into lower planes of consciousness, then sadhana or spiritual practice and the  goodness of people helps one slowly climb out of the pit. That is what the whole spiritual sadhana (mental practices that focus on the ultimate reality) is about.

A LIVING HELL OR PARADISE ON EARTH

Do we want to create a living hell or paradise?

Just as with any other science, this also has a step by step methodology. That is the whole spiritual journey. One learns to savor it and smell the flowers along the way, to commune as well as hibernate when needed. One learns to do what is necessary to be in alignment.

The entire spiritual process takes us to higher vibratory planes. However this specific set of JYOTI or light kriyas helps one to resonate more .
